On their wedding day on the show's episode 2, 30-year-old Ashley confessed that there was no love at first sight for her. David, however, was clearly smitten.
"I first saw Ashley and she looked absolutely stunning, just gorgeous," the 29-year-old groom said in his video diary. "I could tell right away I wasn't her type and she wasn't necessarily my type, but I didn't have any reservations or worries. I was just like 'All right, this is going to work.'"
Fans are hopeful for a happy ending for the two, but a new, albeit unconfirmed, report claims that the two joined the social experiment not to find love, but money.
Starcasm reported that a woman stating to be David's mother commented on a fan forum, saying that her son was "tricked to be on the show" and that Ashley only joined for the money.
"My son was tricked to be on the show. He was on Tinder and met this girl. When they met in person, she confessed that she was really a producer and asked him to be on the show," the woman posted. "David refused until they told him how much they would pay him. My son really wanted to be married and settle down, but I have a feeling Ashley did it for the money because she was unemployed."
The woman added that David will be paid $100,000 after the show airs, but will lose the money if they break the non-disclosure agreement.
"I don't know how it ends because my son and his wife have to stay apart until it airs, kind of like ['The Bachelor']," she wrote. "If they break secrecy then they don't get paid and they would be out $100,000."
Before "Married at First Sight" aired, David spoke with Daily Mail and confirmed the woman's claim that he was using social media to meet a mate.
"We live in a society now where everything is instantaneous," he said of online dating. "You can have a fantastic date and then you go home and you have six new matches."
Meanwhile, Movie News Guide reported that an anonymous person is revealing other scandalous details about David. The source said that David "is a pathological liar and a con man" who has several legal troubles. Another person reportedly claims that David, who is portrayed in the show as a software accounts executive, has not held a permanent job and joined the reality show to get some cash.
Neither David, Ashley, nor the show's producers have spoken about these allegations. New episodes of "Married at First Sight" Season 3 airs every Tuesday, 10 p.m. on FYI.
